i am white my niece however is german scandinavian and jamaican she hates identifying as african american cause her heritage is jamaican german and scandinavian she actually grew up in an all white setting so she was called nigger a lot and has experienced a tremendous amount of racism she had to drop out of high school because as the only nonwhite in a tiny town she was harassed horribly thats a while other long story but i think with her generation millennial theyre moving away from identifying as african american especially as more and more interracial couplings make heritage more obscure in the s and s there were very few children that were the result of interracial relationships i would imagine in another years the conversation will look different
